Dear valued Open magazine subscriber:

As one of our subscribers interested in expanding Linux learning, we 
are pleased to send you the December issue of IBM's Linux 
magazine-on-the-Web, The Linux Line. Whether you're interested in tutorials on how to 
capitalize on the capabilities of Linux software or seeking IT 
assessments, The Linux Line, like Open, is a useful roadmap for following Linux 
as it continues taking the IT world by storm.

In this month's issue, you'll learn what Novell's announcement to 
acquire SUSE LINUX will bring in the form of partner programs and 
opportunities, in a Linux Line interview with Richard Seibt, CEO of SUSE LINUX; 
how IBM puts flexible, cost-effective Linux to work in on-demand 
computing for world-class sports events; and how Locus Pharmaceuticals is 
tapping IBM supercomputing power for AIDS and HIV research.

You'll also read about the National Weather Service's use of Linux for 
improved forecasting; IBM's high-end, Intel-based xSeries 455 server; 
Ximian Red Carpet Enterprise 2; a new Linux white paper library for 
decision tools on demand; and more.
